Terms of Service
Last updated: July 6, 2026
Agreement
By accessing or using Acorny ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Description of Service
Acorny provides a platform for capturing reading highlights, creating active recall cards, and reviewing them using spaced repetition. The Service includes a web application and a browser extension.
Your Account
- You must provide accurate information when creating an account.
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.
- You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
- Attempt to interfere with or disrupt the Service infrastructure.
- Upload malicious content or attempt to exploit security vulnerabilities.
- Create multiple accounts for abusive purposes.
Your Content
- You retain ownership of all content you create and save through the Service.
- You grant us a limited license to store, process, and display your content solely to provide the Service.
- We do not claim any intellectual property rights over your highlights, notes, or recall cards.
Service Availability
- We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access.
- We may perform scheduled maintenance with advance notice when possible.
- We reserve the right to modify or discontinue features with reasonable notice.
Refund Policy
Acorny is currently free during Public Beta. No payment is required to use the beta version, so no paid refunds apply at this stage.
When paid subscriptions become available, payments may be processed by Acorny's authorized payment provider or merchant of record. The applicable payment provider will be shown at checkout and/or on the payment receipt.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, subscription fees are generally non-refundable after the paid billing period has started. However, users may contact us within 14 days of their initial purchase if they believe they were charged in error, charged more than once, or the service does not work as described.
Cancelling a subscription stops future renewals but does not automatically refund past payments or the current billing period.
Refund requests will be reviewed based on the reason for the request, account usage, payment status, applicable consumer protection laws, and the refund process of the relevant payment provider.
To request a refund, please contact us at [email protected] with the email address used for your Acorny account and the order or payment reference if available.
Limitation of Liability
The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service.
Termination
- You may delete your account at any time from the Settings page.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
- Upon termination, your data will be deleted within 30 days unless otherwise required by law.
Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
